The width of the insect is 0.17 cm and the height of the insect is 0.125 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The scale factor is given by dividing the measurement after scaling by the same measurement
The given drawing of the insect is larger than the actual insect.
The scale factor is 20: 1 which means 20 cm on the drawing is 1 cm on the actual insect.
Step 2:
To obtain the actual insect's dimensions, we divide the dimensions of the drawing by 20.
The width of the actual insect
The height of the actual insect
The width of the insect is 0.17 cm and the height of the insect is 0.125 cm.
